OPTIMIZATION

We have provided creative optimization solutions to clients in the upstream, midstream, and downstream business units.  Examples of successfully implemented studies are:

• Exchanger addition at central process facilities to increase oil production and reduce tank emissions
  
• Feed to condenser circuits heat integration in midstream operating grass roots design to save fin fan size requirements and improve operating costs
  
• Pinch analysis performed on refinery unit operations to propose improved heat integration schemes
  
• Overhead line sizes modified to improve condenser performance on towers and reduce fin fan sizes for new installations (PowerPoint presentation available upon request)
  
• Modifying operating pressures to realize reduced reboiler costs or achieve improved commercial advantages in refineries (PowerPoint presentation available upon request)
  
• Plot plan modifications to achieve reduced piping costs on large capital projects
  
• Tower optimization for feed stage, number of stages, feed temperature versus composition, and evaluating capital costs and operating costs.​
